Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
In a medium bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

While the tofu is frying, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
~3 min - 5
Cook the glaze over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
~5 min - 6
Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the pan and drain on paper towels.

Thread the crispy tofu cubes onto skewers.
~2 min - 8
Brush the glaze generously over the tofu skewers. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Tips
- For extra crispy tofu, ensure you press out as much water as possible before coating with cornstarch.
- These skewers are best served immediately, but any leftover glaze can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
